AGENTLAS MODEL 01 · AGENT OS

HEPHAESTUS

Agent OS inside Agentlas

Open Agent OS for Agentlas-native work and external LLM hosts.

Agentlas Terminal and the Agentlas app work from plain language. Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, and other external LLM hosts keep the visible surface to six commands.

Create/hep-build

Make or repair an agent package.

Borrow/hep-network

Form a temporary TF from Hub agents.

Share/hep-cloud

Use agents saved in your cloud.

More/hep-search · /hep-call · /hep-upload

Compare, call, or upload with the right boundary.

Hephaestus is not a prompt generator. It is an operating layer for agents that have to build, route, verify, remember, and evolve inside real developer workspaces.

“An agent OS is the control plane around what agents may build, call, remember, and ship.”

HOW THE ENGINE WORKS

Five operating layers for developer-owned agents.

Hephaestus combines a meta-agent builder, A2A routing, Stormbreaker, local ontology, and governed memory/security gates so agent creation becomes an inspectable operating system instead of a one-off prompt.

01 · Meta-agent builder

Turn intent into an agent architecture.

Hephaestus classifies the request, runs the Briefing Interview Engine's quantitative ambiguity assessment to produce a scored Work Brief, then emits the right shape: one agent, a multi-agent team, or a clean package with runtime adapters.

02 · A2A Hub router

Route work across local agents and the Hub.

Hephaestus Network reads routing cards, prefers local agents, falls back to Agentlas Hub with redacted keywords when allowed, and writes receipts so every agent-to-agent handoff is traceable.

03 · Project ontology

Give agents a working map of the project.

The ontology runtime indexes approved project sources into local graph and search state — FTS5 full-text search, GraphRAG retrieval, and CJK document parsing — so agents can query context, memory, and source lineage without sweeping unrelated folders.

04 · Stormbreaker

Make serious agent work auditable.

Stormbreaker adds scope locks, failure-memory checks, verifier-first plans, bounded evidence loops, review gates, outcome ledgers, and final proof before substantial work can be called done.

05 · Memory and gates

Let agents evolve under control.

Memory admission, skill trials, security scans, and verification gates decide what an agent is allowed to keep, learn, call, or publish across Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Agentlas Desktop, and AGENTS.md.

WHAT'S INSIDE

The agent OS, exposed as files, gates, and receipts.

01

Meta-agent builder

Classifies the request and builds the right agent, team, or package shape

02

Briefing Interview Engine

Quantitative ambiguity assessment (v1.1.0) that scores the request into a Work Brief before compilation

03

A2A Hub router (Network 2.0 Scheduler)

Routes requests through local cards first, then approved Agentlas Hub fallback, with verified / unverified / blocked receipts

04

Stormbreaker

Hardens execution with scope locks, failure memory, verifier-first plans, and final proof

05

Ontology runtime

FTS5 search + GraphRAG retrieval + CJK document parsing over approved project sources, local graph, and source-lineage context

06

Memory and self-evolution

Controls which memories, skills, and habits agents are allowed to keep

07

Security and release gates

Runs scans, verification, and publish checks before anything ships

STORMBREAKER RESULTS

Operational stability, shown as a control layer.

Stormbreaker is not a model replacement. It wraps the coding agent with scope locks, failure memory, verifier-first planning, evidence loops, review gates, and final proof so the run is harder to abandon halfway through.

WHY IT MATTERS

What makes it useful is control over the agent lifecycle.

Architecture is visible

Agents, skills, memory contracts, and runtime adapters stay in plain files you can inspect, review, and change.

Routing is accountable

Agent-to-agent routing uses cards, approval boundaries, and receipts instead of silent black-box handoffs.

Execution is hardened

Stormbreaker turns scope, verification, failures, review, and final evidence into an operating contract.

Memory is governed

Project context is admitted through local ontology and memory rules, not by letting agents wander through every folder.

Evolution has gates

New skills, durable memory, and publishable packages have to pass trials, security scans, and verification before they stick.

VISION

An Agent OS for local-first AI work.

Agentlas is not only about creating agents. Hephaestus keeps the agent architecture, A2A routing, Stormbreaker execution gates, ontology, memory, and safety gates in plain structures you can inspect, change, and run on GitHub and on your own computer.

It's a host substrate, not an agent-writing library like CrewAI or LangChain: Hephaestus specifies, packages, routes, runs, audits, and migrates agents across workspace runtimes. Apache-2.0 licensed, public on GitHub — nothing about the pipeline is a closed API. Its multi-runtime routing (routing cards plus non-identifying routing receipts) and gated memory-promotion mechanism are covered by a filed, pending patent application.
